Primes

• Allometry and Scaling Law
  • Understanding the typical exponent allows practitioners to identify and investigate deviations.

    This sourceRe-analysis controlling for body temperature, digestive state, and phylogeny finds the metabolic scaling exponent nearer 2/3 than 3/4, demonstrating exponents are typical rather than invariant.
